"I thought I was given a one week break? why are we still training when it's barely been twenty four hours?" Jason groaned as he walked into the gym room within the mansion.

However currently, all that gym equipment were carefully arranged at s corner of the spacious gym room. Standing at the middle was Dr. Damian, still clad in his pjs and a candy cane sticking out from his lips.

"Don't worry. When your real training begins, you'll know. Right now, just think of this as prep class.. surely you attended prep class right?" Dr. Damian grinned when he saw Jason clad in a karate robe.

"Plus.. you don't seem to mind? you didn't even hesitate when I informed you about your abrupt training session." his brows squinted.

"Tch. Let's just get this over with" Jason went into a stance.

"Hit me with your best shot!" he added provocatively.

"Heh. Unfortunately I am not going to be your sparring partner today. He is.." Dr. Damian tilted his head.

Looking over his shoulder, Jason noticed Maxwell walking into the gym, clad in the same get up as Jason.

"Why him?" Jason didn't bother concealing his disappointment.

"Whoa. Don't get ahead of yourself just yet. Although he might not look like it, but Maxwell is a very capable retired Mystique Hunter.. he's many times stronger than the current you.."

"Yeah right.." Jason remained doubtful.

How strong could the other party be? he was just the valet.. a cannon fodder!

"Show me your stance.." Maxwell seemed to have ignored Jason's disappointed outburst.

"Heh. I might not look like it, but my P.E instructor was a former Navy SEAL.." Jason bragged as he got into his stance.

"Good .."

Jason was about to grin with pride when the next words caused his expression to turne sour.

"But not as good as you think.."

"Bastard! I'll show you what's good!" Jason lost it as he dashed towards the other party.

"Hmpfh. He's full of opening. What an idiot.." He sneered as he finally arrived before Maxwell, sending a swift haymaker punch towards him.

"Amateur" Maxwell ducked to the ground as he attempted to counterattack, only to realize that Jason's earlier punch had been just a feint.

Spinning around in a near 360 manner, Jason sends a swift axe kick towards Maxwell's shoulders, intending on slamming him back on the ground. The kick was well timed and coupled with the feint he pulled, there was a ninety five percent hit certainty.

"Hmpfh" although the kick might've appeared to be descending very fast, Maxwell's reaction speed was very admirable. Still crouched, he spun his body around as he sent an upper cut back kick towards Jason's exposed chest..

Bang!

A figure flew through the air, slamming roughly on the ground.

"Ugh.." Jason groaned as he struggled back on his feet.

"Are you okay?" Maxwell's expression was one of concern as he noticed Jason clutching onto the left side of his rib

"I think you broke it" he winced in pain while gradually closing the distance.

"Really? I'm sorry.. here let m--"

"It's payback time!!" the look of weakness on Jason's face suddenly vanished as he suddenly leapt into the air, sending a 360 roundhouse kick towards Maxwell.

In such a close distance, there's no way the bastard will react to this kick in time!

However to Jason's horror, Maxwell merely held out his left arm, easily blocking the kick.

Bang!

"F*vck!" Jason winced in pain, it was like he just landed a kick on a thick concrete wall. How could someone's bones be that sturdy?!

Jason tried to pull away however Maxwell's counterattack came even quicker, landing an elbow strike on Jason's nose as the latter was forced back on the ground.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"F*ck! you really broke it this time!" Jason struggled back on his feet, holding his broken nose that was profusely dripping with blood.

"You tried taking advantage of my concern and wanted to use that to land a sneak attack on me.."

"And?"

"That is called playing dirty.. every combatant must have a code of honor they abide by.. " Maxwell's expression was solemn.

"What's the point? will sticking to some stupid code make you win a fight? will sticking to those codes give me the strength I need to get vengeance for my father's death? call it foul play or whatever you want. For me, I call it an opportunity to win and I took it.."Jason huffed.

"F*ck!" he cussed when the rate of his bleeding nose suddenly increased.

"To win by all cost huh? was that what your Navy SEAL instructor taught you?"

"No. It's a little something I learnt for myself a couple months ago.. you said every fighter must have a code right? well, it looks like I just found mine.."

.

.

"Tch. What a boring way to spend a saturday.." Jason groaned as he stepped out from the bathroom, soaking wet with a towel wrapped around his waist.

After about a hour or two of martial arts training, he finally ran out of stamina and Dr. Damian brought the sparring session to an end.. promising to continue it through next day.

Basically, the sparring session operated in a simple manner... Maxwell instructed him on how to throw martial arts kicks, punches and jabs and in return, Jason tested his martial skills on the other party, without using his plasmic energy of course.

Although Jason once learnt martial arts from a retired Navy SEAL, it only lasted for a couple weeks before his spoilt rich brat personality got in the way, causing him to drop out. So although Maxwell began teaching him the concepts of martial arts from scratch, he discovered that he still had much to learn.

As for the reason why Dr. Damian wanted him to learn martial arts instead of directly teaching him how to use Tensei Genkai, the only reply he got from the other party was

"ALL IN DUE TIME"

"I wonder how he would react if he sees what I am seeing right now.." Jason grinned as he stared at the system screen floating in front of him..

Specifically the info tab on the screen.

—[Host has opened Special Package; A Tensei Genkai scroll!]

—[Does Host wish to access the Tensei Genkai scroll?]

"Of course" Jason grinned..

Yesterday after the system finished rebooting, he received some surprises. One of such surprises was this Special Package. According to the system, this special package was a reward for learning how to weild plasmic energy. When he opened the Special Package, he was stunned to discover that the special package was actually a Tensei Genkai scroll.

Although he didn't know what a Tensei Genkai scroll was, he had a feeling it was something good. Unfortunately before he could open it, dawn struck and he had no choice but to return back to his room to catch at least a wink of sleep.

However, he figured now was a good time to check out this special package.

A glowing bundle of light suddenly materialized above Jason's palm, taking the form of a Christmas gift box that unwrapped itself, disappearing into a shimmer of shiny dust, leaving an egg shaped blue rock behind.

"This is a scroll? is the system broken or something?" Jason brought the egg sized rock closer to his face.

What the hell was he supposed to do with this stupid rock? no matter what angle he looked at it from, the rock had an unimpressive appearance.
